I run compiled Linux From Scratch so use neither an RPM nor DEB distribution package manager. I got rpm2cpio.prl for Perl years ago and use it only for OpenOffice RPM files. I just tried it on an OpenOffice language pack RPM file successfully. I saw no MD5 values on their site but my md5sum matches yours. If you can unpack it using rpm2cpio I'll chalk it up to a mystery as I can process the DEB file with ar. ---------------------------------------------------------- On 04/09/2016 09:44 AM, gerry wrote: > Where did you get rpm2cpio from if you don't use a distribution with > an rpm extractor?
